The Dismantling of a Legacy

An excerpt from Politico -

Billy Graham Built a Movement. Now His Son Is Dismantling It.

By STEPHEN PROTHERO

The qualities of temper and judgment that made Billy Graham so singularly successful are almost entirely lacking in his son, who now imperils his father’s legacy. Thanks to Franklin Graham and his cronies on the Religious Right, American evangelicalism has now become first and foremost a political rather than a spiritual enterprise. The life of Billy Graham helped build it up. And his death may well have ensured its demise.
